The B-Lux Grill & Bar, formerly the Brandberg Food & Drink, was re-branded and reopened with a full menu of gourmet burgers, wild fries and creamy shakes to delight children and adults alike.  “It’s not just for kids,” said Armando Monterroso, the Corporate Director of Food and Beverage for the resort. “We’re really focused on great ingredients.”

Thanksgiving is the perfect time to express gratitude for the abundance of locally grown foods available in and around Northeastern Pennsylvania and Sullivan County, NY.  Local farm markets, many of which run during November, are one option for sourcing vegetables, baked goods and turkeys for Thanksgiving dinner. There are well-established markets in Honesdale and Scranton, PA; and Callicoon and Barryville, NY. Some of these markets move indoors during the late fall and winter.
